Another Burlington store is bound for Northeast Ohio,this time in Parma. This is the New Jersey-based off-price retailer's store in Upper Darby, Pa.

Burlington plans to open a store at Shoppes at Parma in spring 2019, according to shopping center owner PREP Property Group of Cincinnati.

The off-price, name-brand clothing and home products retailer will occupy the 45,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Gordmans, PREP announced Monday, Aug. 13. The store will adjoin the Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart Super Center in the open-air shopping center that replaced Parmatown Mall at Ridge Road and West Ridgewood Drive.

Michelle Devlin, general manager of The Shoppes at Parma, said Burlington will allow the center to expand its apparel and home decor options.

The store will employ more than 50 workers.

The Parma property will be the 11th in Northeast Ohio for the company based in Burlington, N.J., that operates 640 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico.
